Take Root Denver promotes home ownership

The city has launched a new campaign promoting home ownership and foreclosure prevention in Denver.

Sponsored by Freddie Mac and the Denver Office of Economic Development, Take Root Denver is a resource for people to get advice and help from trusted organizations on a variety of topics, including foreclosure prevention, loan modifications and buying a home.

The Take Root Denver web site includes a directory of for-sale homes the city has rehabilitated through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, as well as home ownership counseling resources, links to financial assistance and foreclosure-prevention information.

Denver is the second city nationwide that Freddie Mac has selected for its Take Root campaign.
